Vajda Lajos Metamorphosis, 1939, Charcoal and Inian Ink on Paper, 89.3x62.8cm 1939

"Vajda Lajos Metamorphosis" is a charcoal and Indian ink drawing on paper created in 1939 by Hungarian artist Vajda Lajos. The work is characterized by its abstract and expressionistic style, with its focus on organic forms and the interplay of light and shadow. The figure in the center, enveloped by dark swirling lines, evokes a sense of both confinement and transformation, highlighting the anxieties and uncertainties of the period. The work is a poignant testament to Vajda's artistic vision, which was tragically cut short by his untimely death in 1941.
